In 1931, a thirty-one year old Redman formed his own band, quickly earning a residency at the famous Connie's Inn jazz club in Harlem. Connie's Inn was a "whites only" jazz club that featured performances by Louis Armstrong, Fats Waller and other African-American artists, In 1932, now signed to Brunswick Records, Redman composed original music for the Fleischer Studio's Betty Boop film I Heard. He performs both songs - How'm I Doing and I Know A Girl Named Betty Boop with Mae Questel voicing Betty Boop.

HOW'M I DOIN'?
Now I know a gal' named Sadie Green,
The hottest gal' in New Orleans,
She loves to dance, she loves to sing,
Say she take a chance on any ole' thing.
The other night down at the hall,
When the band would play,
Miss Sadie'd go on that floor,
And this is what she'd say,
Now how'm I doin' (hey hey)
Twee twee twee, twah twah,
Now how'm I doin' (hey hey)
Aww, gee, oh baby, you're sure.
Now I'm not braggin' but it's understood,
That everything I do I sure do good.
How'm I doin' (hey hey)
Twee twee twee, twah twah,
How'm I doin' (hey hey)
Oh twee twee twee, twah twah,
Now how'm I doin' (hey hey)
Oh gee, baby, you're sure.
I only meant to do a little bit,
You done made me like it and I just can't quit.
Now how'm I doin' (hey hey)
Oh twee twee twee, twah twah,
Mmmm... how'm I doin' (hey hey)
Twee twee nyah nyah nyah,
Now how'm I doin' (hey hey)
Aww, gee, baby, you're sure.
I'll admit I'm not the best in town,
But I'll be the best till the best come round.
Now how'm I doin', boys? (hey hey)
Twee twee nyah nyah nyah,
How we doin'? (hey hey)
Twee twee twee, twah twah,
Now how we doin'? (hey hey)
Oh gee, oh baby, you're sure.
How we doin'? (hey hey)
Twee twee twee, twah twah,
How we doin'?
Twee twee twee twee, twah twah,
How we doin'?
Aww, aww, gee, baby you're sure,
How we doin'?
